    WTS Kuiu small pants

    I have a pair of Kuiu Attack pants, 28 S and Super Down Ultra puffys. The Ultras were ordered in error, and never worn outside of the house. The Attacks were worn this season and are in excellent condition. 1 small bur in the right knee. (See pic) Attack - $100.00 TYD Super Down Ultra -...

    Hunting etiquette?

    Honestly, it was the people that helped me find the elk. I just starting looking for a spot that was a mile or more from the road. The valley I killed my bull in is hidden from the roads in the area and required either a 2 mile hike through very thick cover, or little over 1 mile down 2 very...

    Hunting etiquette?

    It worked out for me. Even if he stayed, I would have been in a better spot to shoot. I honestly don't think the guy could see the bull from where he was, even if he would have stayed. What chapped my butt was he was obviously attempting to cut me off, and was mad at me that it didn't work. The...

    Hunting etiquette?

    So some of this is conjecture on my part, and some was directly confirmed by the guy. They knew approximately where I was hunting by where I parked. When I shot, he knew it was me and I confirmed it when he stopped me on my way out. I had been getting in around noon and hiking about an hour to...

    Hunting etiquette?

    I grew up just north of Venice LA. I know how much of a PiTA out of towners can be. So I try to remain considerate of others. Same thing happens with fishing and waterfowl hunting. There's ways to deal with people without being a jerk. If that's a possibility, that's what I'm doing. Two...

    Hunting etiquette?

    My sincere apologies for not living in the appropriate area. Here I was wondering if 800yds was too close, and it was the previous 1600 miles that was the problem. The guy knew where I was parked and had a pretty good idea of where I was hunting from the shot. We had spoken the previous days...

    Hunting etiquette?

    I didn't drop it, my son did. We were seeing a lot of fresh sign and in thicker cover, so I had him take it off his pack. He stopped to re-tie his boot and the limb he leaned it against broke. I didn't actually see the drop, rather caught him picking up the gun. He said it wasn't much of a bump...

    Hunting etiquette?

    That's absolutely what they do. He knew where I was from, not hard with the license plate and LSU hat I wear, but he knew what times I came and went, where I parked, especially as I moved to access better entry points, and when I left late. When we shot, it was more of an accusation than a...

    Hunting etiquette?

    Not saying EoS, it access mostly. Just a lot of details, but that's what keeps me engaged throughout the year. Research and planning. Lots of calls and questions too. When EoS was explained to me, by an agent, they just said some part of the reproductive organs or utters on the quarters. I...

    Hunting etiquette?

    Well, I had something similar happen the previous year in the same area. We spotted a bull the evening before the season a 1/4 mile from the road. So opening morning, despite my better judgment, we set up. We were there an hour before daylight. Just before dawn a truck stopped right next to me...

    Hunting etiquette?

    I'm not a naturally dishonest person and wasn't prepared for him to flag me down and ask me directly. I definitely wasn't thinking he was going to send someone down there. Won't happen again. I don't plan to be rude, but like Forest's mom said..."A little white lie ain't ever hurt nobody."...

    Hunting etiquette?

    He was 400 yards at the initial shot. I missed what I think was the same bull the day before at 440. The followup shot was at 360, but was most likely unnecessary. We were on opposing ridges of the same valley. He was on an inside bend and I was on a point across from him. Mine was a much wider...

    Hunting etiquette?

    So I defiled him for no good reason? We were stopped by wildlife, but that was before we killed. I've made it a point to stay on their good side. So many rules out West, and they seem to change from unit to unit.

    Hunting etiquette?

    I knew about the EoS, and even made a joke or two about what quarter got the twig and what quarter got the berries. Wife had questions when I brought those home. "Well that's definitely not going on the wall" was her response.

    Hunting etiquette?

    I honestly didn't know that. First one I've ever killed and all the other places I've hunted in the past, you just checked your animal in. Thanks

    Hunting etiquette?

    Well, I didn't have a problem with him being there. And honestly, I felt bad about staying initially. But the distance coupled with being there prior days and the fact that the guy couldn't (or at least I don't think) see the point that the bulls had been entering the valley lead me to stay. I...

    Hunting etiquette?

    So, the place has a camp site you drive right through going in and out. I usually stop by and say hey. It's 90% older men and kids. But there was a group of younger men there too. These guys mostly ride around, and typically leave camp at daylight and return by 9am, then make another wrap about...

    Hunting etiquette?

    So we got on some OTC Elk. By the second day, we got close enough for a shot, 3 actually, but I missed due to the gun being dropped the previous day. Anyhow, we resighted and returned to our spot the next afternoon. Now we had been hunting this valley alone, while the crowd stayed near the...

    Electrolytes

    Same. It's more of a contingency than a necessity. If I'm sweating on a hunt to the point of needing electrolyte supplements, I'm either packing out, or really messing up. I alternate my foods between sweet and salty and was running sugary drinks with water. I find the salty drinks to work...
